Kimpton Hotels is investigating a possible payment card breach

Kimpton Hotels, operator of boutique hotels across the U.S., is investigating reports of a possible payment card data breach. If confirmed, it would become the latest in a string of successful attacks on hotel chain operators in the last year.

The San Francisco-based company said it was “recently made aware of a report of unauthorized charges occurring on cards that were previously used legitimately at Kimpton properties.”
